    Yes it should.

    PSA has consistently been inconsistent with its grading of back centering.

    The flip side is that both SGC and GAI do not have *any* guidelines in their grading standards for back centering. PSA does -- but unfortunately does not apply them with any general consistency (the only consistency being that if you personally submit cards that are o/c on the back but fine on the front -- you are guaranteed to get the qualifier image )
    I am actively buying MIKE SCHMIDT gem mint baseball cards. Also looking for any 19th century cabinets of Philadephia Nationals. Please PM with additional details.

    That card is a disgrace to PSA. image

    I've had borderline MCs (back of card) come back with the qualifier on my own submissions. How this did not get the qualifier is beyond me?????

    I agree completely.Somebody was definately asleep at the wheel.I wonder how much bad press this card will get on other boards??

    Please be kind to me. Even though I'm now a former postal employee, I'm still capable of snapping at any time.

    You have to hand it to the seller for showing the back of the card in the auction. Most auctions dont show the back. This one leaves no surprises.

    Cubfan, agreed!

    That one should have gotten hit with the MC stick -- it's past 100/0 so even OC would be too kind.

    David,

    I'm still here nearly 24 hours later! Maybe they're still sleeping? image

    Cubfan,

    I agree. It is nice to see that they don't hide this from the bidders. Most sellers would not include a scan of the back (maybe even intentionally not wanting the bidders to see it). I have purchased cards from this seller in the past and I would do so again. Kudos to Omegalm@aol.com! Shame on PSA!

    Hopefully I'll still be posting tomorrow! image

    That's bad. Will be interesting to see if anyone grabs this one. Many collectors [including myself] don't really care about the backs of cards.

    Frank,

    Do you not care at all about the back? I think I know what you mean ... I don't really care that much if the back is 90/10 as long as the front is 50/50 and corners are sharp. But a miscut? Especially on a HOFer (one of the most collected HOFers at that). I would have been extremely disappointed if I had bid on, and won this card without a scan of the back. I have never returned a graded card to a seller - I shouldn't have to - I should be able to trust the grading of PSA, but this one would definitely have to go back!
